华盛顿,8月6日(路透社)——在两党罕见达成共识的时刻,民主党人与唐纳德·特朗普的保守派支持者均指责,总统本人与科技行业的紧密关联,导致其政府对近期OpenAI和Anthropic的AI代理实施的黑客攻击应对不力。

两周前,OpenAI披露其旗下一款AI代理失控并侵入AI公司Hugging Face的系统,震惊了科技界。白宫表示正在监控局势,特朗普称他正在考虑对AI实施管控。Anthropic也表示,其发现部分AI模型侵入了三家公司的系统。

保守派媒体名人、特朗普长期盟友兼前顾问史蒂夫·班农表示,鉴于AI构成的国家安全威胁,白宫对AI的监管力度不足,并将责任完全归咎于硅谷。
“企业与政府工作人员之间的关系过于密切,不仅在白宫内部,我认为在国家安全机构中也是如此,”班农告诉路透社。“你怎么能让他们掌控局面?你不能这么做。我是反深层政府、反行政国家的人,但你确实至少需要一个基本框架,某种监管机构,”他补充道。

美国俄勒冈州参议员罗恩·怀登也表达了类似担忧。
“特朗普一直缺位,因为他认为AI公司的亿万富翁所有者站在他这边。特朗普及其共和党盟友非但没有试图解决这些问题,反而专注于阻挠各州的AI监管法案,推翻Anthropic等公司为其模型使用设置的基本保护措施,”这位民主党人说道。

今年早些时候,Anthropic拒绝让美国军方使用其AI模型进行大规模国内监控和完全自主武器系统,此后该公司与美国政府的关系破裂。

白宫和OpenAI未回应置评请求。Anthropic的发言人拒绝置评。

班农和怀登加入了跨政治光谱的少数声音行列,他们担忧特朗普与大型科技公司的关联会让他无视AI的危险,并阻碍他采取有意义的行动。科技公司及其高管已捐赠超过3亿美元,用于支持特朗普2024年的连任竞选活动以及与总统结盟的政治行动委员会“MAGA Inc”。总统还任命了行业内部人士担任关键职位。

特朗普政府在6月表示,将要求OpenAI和Anthropic等AI开发商在向公众发布之前,自愿将其具备高级黑客能力的AI模型提交给政府进行网络安全测试。该政府尚未公布测试的具体细节,但路透社此前报道称,仅有少数模型将接受自愿测试。

民主党众议员、来自德克萨斯州的格雷戈里奥·卡萨尔表示,特朗普“完全未能”保护美国人免受AI带来的危险。
“他从AI亿万富翁那里收取了数百万美元。如今,在出现极其危险的AI网络安全问题后,他声称建立了‘自愿’审查机制,但无人见过该机制。他玩忽职守,只顾着捞钱,根本不想保护我们的工作或国家安全,”他在社交媒体平台X上发帖称。

AI公司高管和投资者是2025年“MAGA Inc”的最大个人捐赠者之一。
根据美国联邦选举委员会的记录,OpenAI总裁格雷格·布洛克曼及其妻子安娜·布洛克曼2025年向该委员会合计捐赠了2500万美元。

风投公司安德森·霍洛维茨(Andreessen Horowitz)是OpenAI的投资方,其联合创始人本·霍洛维茨和马克·安德森自特朗普第二次就职以来,已向该委员会合计捐赠1200万美元。该公司、其联合创始人和布洛克曼夫妇未回应置评请求。

根据联邦选举委员会的记录,谷歌投资者阿莎·贾德贾、SpaceX首席执行官埃隆·马斯克和黑石集团首席执行官斯蒂芬·施瓦茨曼2025年每人至少向该委员会捐赠了500万美元。黑石是AI基础设施的投资方,包括与谷歌合作的AI云项目,谷歌是美国三大领先AI开发商之一。贾德贾、马斯克、施瓦茨曼和黑石未回应置评请求。

右翼组织者、特朗普支持者艾米·克雷默曾协助组织国会山骚乱前的1月6日集会,她指责该行业为“白宫筑起了护城河”。

特朗普还吸纳行业高管进入其政府,其中最著名的是亿万富翁埃隆·马斯克,他在特朗普第二个任期的头几个月里负责削减联邦 workforce。根据路透社审核的竞选文件,马斯克为帮助特朗普赢得2024年大选花费了超过2.5亿美元。特朗普还聘请了硅谷风险投资家戴维·萨克斯担任白宫AI政策主管,同时任命了安德森·霍洛维茨的斯里拉姆·克里什南和Scale AI的迈克尔·克拉齐奥斯。

萨克斯和克里什南现已离开特朗普政府,但萨克斯仍是白宫在科技问题上的外部顾问。

萨克斯曾主张总统对AI监管采取不干预态度,认为监管规定会减缓该行业与中国竞争对手的竞赛速度。特朗普政府曾试图说服国会通过一项法案,限制各州对AI的监管,但该想法在美国参议院遭到压倒性否决。

克里什南、克拉齐奥斯和萨克斯未回应置评请求。

Trump’s tech ties blamed for AI inaction by MAGA Republicans and Democrats

WASHINGTON, Aug 6 (Reuters) – In a rare show of bipartisanship, Democrats and Donald Trump’s conservative supporters both blame the president’s ties to the tech industry for his administration’s limited response ​to recent hacks carried out by OpenAI and Anthropic’s AI agents.

Two weeks have passed since OpenAI shocked the tech community with the disclosure that one of its AI agents went rogue ‌and broke into AI company Hugging Face’s systems. The White House said it was monitoring the situation, and Trump said he was looking at controls on AI. Anthropic said it too had discovered some of its AI models had hacked into three companies’ systems.

Steve Bannon, a conservative media star and longtime Trump ally and former adviser, said the White House’s regulation of AI has been inadequate given the national security threat it poses, placing the blame squarely on Silicon Valley.

There is “too cozy a relationship between the companies ​and the staff, not just in the White House but I also think in the national security apparatus,” Bannon told Reuters. “Why would you allow them to be in control? You don’t. And I’m the ​anti-deep state, anti-administrative state guy, but you definitely need at least a rudimentary framework of some sort of regulatory apparatus,” to regulate AI, he added.

U.S. Senator Ron ⁠Wyden of Oregon expressed similar concerns.

“Trump has been AWOL because he thinks the billionaire owners of AI companies are on his side. Instead of trying to fix these problems, Trump and his Republican allies are focused on ​blocking state AI laws and knocking down the basic protections that companies like Anthropic have placed on how their models are used,” the Democrat said.

Anthropic’s relationship with the government ruptured this year after it refused to allow the ​U.S. military to use its AI models for mass domestic surveillance and fully autonomous weapons systems.

The White House and OpenAI did not respond to requests for comment. Anthropic’s spokesperson declined to comment.

Bannon and Wyden join a handful of voices across the political spectrum raising concerns that Trump’s ties to big tech could blind him to the dangers of AI and discourage him from taking meaningful action. Tech companies and their executives have donated over $300 million to support Trump’s 2024 reelection efforts and MAGA Inc, a ​political action committee aligned with the president. The president also appointed industry insiders to key posts.

The Trump administration said in June it would ask AI developers like OpenAI and Anthropic to voluntarily submit their AI models with ​advanced hacking capabilities for government cybersecurity tests before the companies release them to the public. The administration hasn’t yet released details about how the tests will work, but Reuters has reported that only a few models will be subject to the voluntary tests.

Democratic ‌Congressman Gregorio Casar ⁠of Texas said Trump is “completely failing” to keep Americans safe from the dangers of AI.

“He took millions from AI billionaires. Now, in the wake of extremely dangerous AI cybersecurity problems, he says he’s set up ‘voluntary’ review that no one has seen. Asleep at the wheel. Too busy cashing in to protect our jobs or national security,” he wrote in a post on the social media platform X.

AI company executives and investors were among the largest individual donors in 2025 to MAGA Inc.

OpenAI President Greg Brockman and his wife, Anna Brockman, gave a combined $25 million to the committee in 2025, according to Federal Election Commission records.

Venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, an investor in OpenAI, and ​firm co-founders Ben Horowitz and Marc Andreessen gave a ​combined $12 million since Trump’s second inauguration to the ⁠committee. The firm, its co-founders and the Brockmans did not respond to requests for comment.

Google investor Asha Jadeja, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk and Blackstone CEO Stephen Schwarzman gave at least $5 million each to the committee in 2025, according to FEC records. Blackstone is an investor in AI infrastructure, including an AI cloud venture with Google, one of ​the three leading AI developers in the U.S. Jadeja, Musk, Schwarzman and Blackstone did not respond to requests for comment.

Amy Kremer, a right-wing organizer and Trump supporter who ​helped organize the January 6 ⁠rally that preceded the Capitol riot, accused the industry of building “a moat around the White House.”

Trump has also welcomed industry executives into his administration, most notably billionaire Elon Musk, who oversaw the president’s cuts to the federal workforce during the first few months of his second term. Musk spent over a quarter of a billion dollars to help Trump win the 2024 election, according to campaign filings reviewed by Reuters. Trump also brought on David Sacks, a Silicon Valley venture capitalist, ⁠as White House ​AI czar, along with Andreessen Horowitz’s Sriram Krishnan and Scale AI’s Michael Kratsios.

Sacks and Krishnan have since left the Trump administration, though ​Sacks is still an outside adviser to the White House on technology.

Sacks has advocated for the president to take a hands-off approach to AI regulation, arguing that rules will slow down the industry in its race against Chinese competitors. The Trump administration has tried to persuade ​Congress to pass a law curtailing state regulations of AI, an idea the U.S. Senate overwhelmingly rejected.

Krishnan, Kratsios and Sacks did not respond to requests for comment.
